Throughout the general election campaign, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has attacked Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton for her support of the Iran nuclear deal — a deal Trump has called one of the worst deals made in human history (and he isn’t wrong).

Clinton has insisted that the deal was a remarkable success and has stated that Iran has no path to a nuclear weapon, but an email chain released by WikiLeaks showed that Clinton’s own campaign chairman may not share her sunny attitude toward the Iran deal.

The email chain was titled “You call it.” John Anzalone (of Anzalone Liszt Grove Research) sent an email to Podesta that contained a link to a Buzzfeed article quoting Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois as saying that the deal would lead to a Middle Eastern nuclear war.

Podesta replied back “Yup,” which could be interpreted in a number of ways.

Podesta could have been simply acknowledging the email, or it could have been a sarcastic “yup,” or he could have been agreeing with the assessment that the Iranian deal would lead to a disastrous outcome.

If Podesta didn’t think the Iranian deal was a good thing, it makes you wonder if there was anyone in the Clinton campaign who actually did think it was a good deal.

Here’s the original email:

Rather than clarify his comments, Podesta and the Clinton campaign in general have chosen to blame Russia (and Trump) for these email hacks.

The thousands of emails released by WikiLeaks have shown that Clinton is a duplicitous politician who is determined to radically transform the United States if she gets the chance.

We can’t let her become the next president, or else our country could be changed in ways that would lead to disastrous outcomes.
